One way or another, it's taken most of the previous generation of my family. It does suck indeed.

You are correct, I lost my Mom one month after my oldest was born 11 years ago. You and your family are in our prayers.

Sorry to hear about your losses Paul. Cancer does indeed suck.

A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with advanced Colon cancer. How she reacted blew me away. She noticed that the waiting room at the Chemo treatment center was a pretty glum place----so she started putting together "goodie" bags for all of the patients waiting. These bags are filled with lotion, teas, candy-- and other things a person going through chemo would appreciate. She's started a group called "Lemons of Love" (when life gives you lemonade....) She says the reactions she gets from the patients when she hands out the bags is amazing. At first they think she's trying to sell them something and are stand-offish. Then they realize it's an act of love and charity--- and the reaction changes to gratitude.

It just amazes me that when faced with something as scary as cancer--- her first thought was to help others. Amazing is too weak a word!

Very sorry to hear about your loss. It doesn't make it any easier when they're that close together either.
